book (do not send a complete CV or a boilerplate description of your
skills; I am interested in what makes you the ideal reviewer for this
particular book);

potential conflict of interest.

of its contribution to scholarship at the intersection of discourse
analysis and the social sciences. Simple chapter-by-chapter
